Fred the Godson is an emcee from the gritty South Bronx ghetto of New York. Seeking refuge from the drug wars that ravaged his block of 156th & Fox, Fred turned to his family but could not escape the desolate living conditions of the ghetto. Finding himself in a shelter after watching his house burn down Fred’s trials and tribulations as a child would provide him the determination to conquer all obstacles that prevented him from achieving his goals. Reaching a low point in his life after failing to graduate high school due to the temptations of the streets, Fred also found out he was diagnosed with Kidney disease, Asthma, and Diabetes. Fred found salvation through the one thing that brought him joy and happiness, music.

Fred’s first experience being moved by Hip Hop was at the age of 15 years old when he became mesmerized watching MC Hammer perform. Inspired by his ability to control the audience and his showmanship Fred soon discovered he too had the ability to entertain the masses with his talent for wordplay and storytelling. Combining his natural love for music and potential to achieve lyrical greatness, Fred integrated music into every aspect of his life fine tuning his craft to become the master of lyrical composition of which he is known as today.

Inspired by Jay-Z, Fred began to build a catalog of songs that would rival the greats showcasing his witty punchlines and the realities of the streets of New York city all delivered with a cool and calculated flow. Distinguishing himself from other up and coming artists with his ability to deliver raw messages in a relate-able and appealing manner Fred has managed to draw attention from most of the main players in the industry including Roc-a-fella, Def Jam, Shady, Sony, Bad Boy, Ruff Ryders and Loud (SRC). Recently purchasing a studio, inventing in promotions, and building a powerhouse team around himself, Fred is positioned to be the next to break and with the help of T.B.M. Entertainment and Draft Entertainment exclusively working to get his music to the general public success in inevitable.

With the industry behind him Fred’s catalog features production from the best producers in the game such as Sha Money XL, Reefa, Sean C & LV, Heat Makerz, Rockwilder, Buck Wild, Justice League, Charlamaine, Amadeus, Scram Jones and Teddy Riley to name a few.
